Description
Meet Detective Chief Inspector John Blizzard -- burly and blunt. He takes no nonsense from crooks or his superiors.
A frightened teenager reports being stalked through a graveyard by a man dressed all in black. The police dismiss it as hysteria. A ghost story. Just kids being kids.
Then a body is found -- murdered in the same churchyard. And the boy's warning no longer seems so ridiculous.
As fear spreads through the neighbourhood, whispers grow louder. They're calling him "The Vengeance Man".
DCI John Blizzard doesn't believe in bogeymen. But as he follows the trail through local legends, family secrets, and community tensions, he begins to see that myths can kill -- especially when someone starts using them as cover.
A dark and unsettling mystery where folklore, fear, and cold-blooded murder intersect.
Perfect for fans of Peter Robinson, J.R. Ellis, and Ann Cleeves.
DCI John Blizzard doesn't rattle easily. But with panic rising and pressure from the brass to restore calm, even he must admit: this case is different. The killer has captured the public imagination -- and the nickname isn't helping. With Fee and baby Mikey waiting at home, Blizzard's determined to put the truth before the myth. But sometimes, facts alone aren't enough.
Set in Hafton, a Northern city where shadowy churchyards meet crumbling estates, the case unfolds across sacred ground and public fear. From candlelit vigils to graffiti-stained walls, the setting pulses with dread -- and superstition.
